Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort

49 RV Sites, 23 Cabins

Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort offers 49 RV sites and 23 cabins on Percy Priest Lake in Nashville, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet, behind a gated entrance. Lakefront premium and lake view categories join a water park, zip line, lazy river, and marina. Forty-nine sites span standard, lake view, lakefront premium, and pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The lakefront premium category is worth requesting early. Twenty-three cabins round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, and boat storage handle the practical side. Recreation is extensive. A full water park, lazy river, and zip line anchor the summer, with a marina, beach, boat rentals, and kayak rentals putting guests on the lake for boating, fishing, paddle boarding, and water sports. A library, walking trails, sports courts, volleyball, horseshoes, corn hole, a playground, pavilion, dog park, on-site dining, and a snack bar fill the rest, with live music and planned activities through the season and strong stargazing over the water. Pets are welcome. One practical note for RV arrivals: GPS often routes you onto Mills Road after Exit 221 (Old Hickory Boulevard). Avoid that turn and follow the resort's posted RV directions instead. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Raccoon Mountain Caverns & Campground

55 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 22 Tent Sites, 5 Glamping Sites

Raccoon Mountain Caverns and Campground in Chattanooga, Tennessee, offers 55 full-hookup RV sites, nine cabins, 22 tent sites, and five glamping sites at the entrance to a 5.5-mile guided cave system, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Compact and deluxe pull-through categories join rustic back-in sites, with a pool, fitness center, and clubhouse. Fifty-five sites span compact pull-thru, compact pull-thru max tow, deluxe pull-thru, and rustic back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The compact max-tow category is a thoughtful distinction for smaller rigs with a vehicle in tow. Nine cabins, 22 tent sites, and five glamping sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Three policies to know: no hammocks or car camping on any site, no tents on RV sites, RVs manufactured before 2000 require photo approval, and you must be 21 to book. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a fitness center, clubhouse, pavilion, basketball, shuffleboard, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, a playground, and dog park besides. Sleeping beside the cave entrance is the singular draw — one of the Southeast's most accessible wild cavern experiences, with Lookout Mountain and downtown Chattanooga close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Camp Leconte Luxury Outdoor Resort

18 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites, 7 Glamping Sites, 2 Treehouses, 3 Vintage RV Rentals

Camp LeConte Luxury Outdoor Resort in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, offers 21 RV sites, two treehouses, seven glamping sites, and five tent sites four miles from downtown, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 42 feet. Named retro campers — Glamping at Tiffany's, Miss Daisy, and The Ruby Slipper — join European safari tents in a curated lodging mix. Twenty-one sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 42 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, BBQ pits, cable TV, and site WiFi. Note the 42-foot cap before booking a larger rig. The lodging is the distinguishing feature: two treehouses, seven glamping units including European safari tents, and the three named retro campers give guests genuinely unusual options in a corridor where most properties offer standard cabins. An outdoor pool and hot tub anchor the warm months, with a playground, pavilion, and ping pong on the grounds. The mountain setting and creek nearby round it out, with birding productive across the property. Pets are welcome. Gatlinburg's downtown Parkway is four miles away, with Great Smoky Mountains National Park access adjacent and the full Smoky Mountain entertainment and dining infrastructure within minutes. An amusement park and wine tasting are nearby. The resort has run since 2013 as a family-owned boutique property. Summer and October foliage drive the heaviest demand in one of the most visited tourist corridors in the country — reserve well ahead for both.

from $35/night

Botel Campground

15 RV Sites

Botel Campground in Savannah, TN, offers 15 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come in two categories, pull-thru and riverfront back-in, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue. The riverfront back-ins are the ones to request. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, and propane fills cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a dog park. The Tennessee River drives everything here: boat docks, a boat ramp, and a fishing pier for boating and fishing, plus an outdoor pool, a splash pad, a pavilion, and a playground for the rest of the family. Golf is nearby. Savannah sits on the Tennessee River in Hardin County, one mile downstream from Pickwick Dam, where the reservoir's 57-mile navigational pool sustains the bass, crappie, catfish, and sauger fishing the area is known for. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Riverfront sites are limited and go first through the fishing season.

from $55/night

Rural Hill Farm

17 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 1 House

Rural Hill Farm in Mt. Juliet, TN, offers 17 full-hookup RV sites and 4 cabin and house rentals, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 20/30/50-amp and pull-thru 20/30/50-amp, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Every site takes all three amp services. The farm is gated and rated big rig friendly, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a dump station, a recreation center, and a pavilion. Pets are welcome. Two practical notes: one vehicle per site, with a nightly fee for extras charged on arrival, and your GPS may route you incorrectly, so follow the farm's directions rather than the app. The property spreads across 180 acres of rolling Wilson County farmland with a pond, walking trails, fishing, swimming, hiking, and biking — a working farm setting rather than a resort. Mt. Juliet sits east of Nashville, close enough for a night downtown and far enough to hear nothing but the farm. Rates for sites and rentals are on the booking page. Confirm the directions before you set out.

from $70/night

Mammoth Ridge RV Park

20 RV Sites

Mammoth Ridge RV Park and Campground in Greeneville, Tennessee, offers full-hookup RV sites on a lake with its own beach, a dog park, a general store and golf cart rentals. Sites take rigs up to 75 feet with electric hookups, which accommodates most large coaches traveling the Nolichucky valley between Morristown and Johnson City. Full-hookup RV sites with electric service accommodate rigs to 75 feet, and a dump station is on site. RV storage is available for guests leaving a rig between visits. Bathrooms, showers and laundry cover the practical side of a stay, a general store stocks basics and firewood, and WiFi reaches the sites. The lake is the property's center of gravity. A beach gives swimmers direct access, and fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boats put guests on the water without leaving the campground. Walking trails and biking routes run the grounds, volleyball and gaga ball serve the younger crowd, and a covered pavilion handles group gatherings. A fenced dog park is on site and pets are welcome. Golf cart rentals make the property easy to move around, and a golf course is nearby. One practical note: this is bear country despite the populated setting, so store food accordingly. Greeneville is the home of Andrew Johnson, and the National Historic Site downtown preserves his homestead, tailor shop and cemetery. The Nolichucky River Gorge lies 20 miles south in the Cherokee National Forest, where a 14-mile canyon carries Class III–IV whitewater, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park's Cosby entrance is a 45-mile drive southwest. The campground runs spring through fall. Cherokee National Forest wildflowers peak April into May, and October foliage on the northeast Tennessee ridgelines is the busiest window of the year — with the Roan Mountain rhododendron bloom, 40 miles northeast, drawing heavily from mid-June into early July. Reserve ahead for both.

Camp Riverslanding

64 RV Sites, 1 Glamping Site, 7 Onsite RV/Trailers, 1 House

Camp Riverslanding in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, offers 71 full-hookup back-in RV sites, a house, and a glamping site on the Little Pigeon River, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Riverside Signature and premium categories join named RV rentals, with a heated pool, splash pad, community fire pit, and library. Seventy-one back-in sites run in 30/50-amp premium and 30/50-amp riverside Signature categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The riverside Signature sites put you directly on the water — the reason most guests book here. Named RV rentals including The Hideaway and Bear Tracks, a house, and a glamping site round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A heated pool and splash pad anchor the summer, with a game room, recreation center, barn, library, playground, community fire pit, dog park, horseshoes, corn hole, and on-site dining filling the rest. Fishing, swimming, picnicking, and planned activities round it out, and the property operates as a wedding venue. Directions from Knoxville: take I-40 east toward Asheville, exit 407 toward Gatlinburg, Sevierville, and Pigeon Forge, right onto Winfield Dunn Parkway/Highway 66 south for about nine miles, then right. The property sits among the trees on the river a few miles from Dollywood, in the heart of the Smoky Mountain corridor. Summer and fall foliage drive demand hard. Reserve well ahead for June through October.

from $40/night

Buddy Bear in the Smokies RV Campground

25 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 3 Cottages

Buddy Bear in the Smokies RV Campground in Sevierville, TN, offers 25 full-hookup RV sites and 4 cabin and cottage rentals, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 85 feet. Sites are tiered as standard back-in, premium back-in, signature back-in, and pull-thru, all carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue. The campground is rated big rig friendly and at 85 feet takes the longest coaches with a toad — genuinely rare this close to the Smokies. A general store, a bathhouse, and a pavilion cover the essentials, and pets are welcome. The property is gated, and guests are issued the gate code at booking. An outdoor pool and creek frontage anchor the grounds, with planned activities, swimming, kayaking, and fishing on the calendar. Sevierville sits at the top of the Smoky Mountain corridor, with Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Dollywood, and the national park entrance all a short drive south. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Signature sites and the summer and fall foliage weeks book earliest.

Unhitched Nashville North

73 RV Sites

Unhitched Nashville North in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, offers 73 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, in the northern Nashville metro corridor. Buddy sites at both 30 and 50-amp join back-in, pull-in, and water-and-electric pull-through categories, with an outdoor pool, playground, and dog park. Seventy-three sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 50-amp, pull-in 50-amp, pull-thru 30-amp buddy, pull-thru 30-amp water-and-electric, and pull-thru 50-amp buddy categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The buddy sites are built for two rigs traveling together, which is unusual to find at both amperages. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with shuffleboard, a playground, pavilion, and dog park filling the grounds. The amenity set is practical rather than resort-scale, which keeps rates reasonable for guests whose real agenda is Nashville. Pets are welcome. Directions to 1200 Louisville Highway: take I-65 north out of Nashville, exit 98 onto Highway 31 toward Millersville, then two miles with the park on the left. Music City's honky-tonks, the Grand Ole Opry, and the Country Music Hall of Fame are all a short drive south. Demand tracks the Nashville event calendar year-round. Reserve ahead for CMA Fest and major concert weekends.

The Broken Banjo RV Park

37 RV Sites, 14 Tent Sites

The Broken Banjo RV Park in Manchester, Tennessee, offers 37 full-hookup pull-through RV sites and 14 tent sites halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 88 feet. Gravel and paved pull-throughs, some with paved patios and one with a fenced patio, join an outdoor pool, splash pad, and mini-golf. Thirty-seven sites span gravel pull-thru, gravel pull-thru with paved patio, long gravel pull-thru with paved patio, and paved pull-thru with fenced patio categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 88 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Publishing both the surface and the patio type is unusually transparent, and the fenced patio is a genuine find if you travel with dogs. An all-pull-through layout at 88 feet handles anything on the road. Fourteen tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and on-site dining handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and splash pad anchor the summer, with mini-golf, sports courts, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, billiards, corn hole, a pond, playground, pavilion, walking trails, hiking, and a dog park filling the rest. Coffee County sits on the Highland Rim, with waterfalls, cave systems, and forested creek corridors close — and Bonnaroo's farm just outside town. Bonnaroo week fills the county. Reserve as early as you can.

Lakeview RV Resort

87 RV Sites

Lakeview RV Resort in Bluff City, Tennessee, offers 87 full-hookup RV sites overlooking Boone Lake with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 50 feet, open all year. Standard, cable-equipped, and wide back-in categories join a storm shelter, fishing pier, boat docks, and outdoor pool. Eighty-seven back-in sites run in standard, with-cable, and wide with-cable categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The wide category is worth requesting for larger rigs or guests who want elbow room. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side, with a storm shelter on site — a genuine safety feature in the Tennessee Valley. Site rates vary by category and date. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a lake, pond, fishing pier, boat docks, and boat rentals giving direct water access for fishing, boating, canoeing, and kayaking. A recreation center, playground, pavilion, dog park, horseshoes, corn hole, biking, and on-site dining fill the rest, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. The elevated viewshed over Boone Lake against the Blue Ridge is the resort's signature. Bluff City sits on US-11E between Johnson City and Kingsport, with the lake's bass and walleye fishery and the South Holston River tailwater close by. Year-round operation makes this viable across seasons. Summer and October foliage are the peaks — reserve ahead.

from $55/night

Rockwood Marina & RV Resort

77 RV Sites

Rockwood Marina and RV Resort in Tennessee offers 77 full-hookup RV sites on 1.5 miles of Watts Bar Lake shoreline, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 105 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Beachfront, lakefront, premium lakefront, poolside, and poolside waterview categories name exactly what you are booking, alongside a marina, boat ramp, and fishing pier. Seventy-seven sites span beachfront back-in, lakefront back-in, lakefront pull-in, premium lakefront back-in, poolside back-in, poolside waterview back-in, pull-thru, and waterfront categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 105 feet, with fire pits. Naming every category by its position is genuinely useful, and 105 feet accommodates the longest coaches on the road. A general store, laundry, and restrooms handle the practical side. The marina is the anchor, with boat docks, a boat ramp, and a fishing pier giving direct access to Watts Bar for boating and fishing. An outdoor pool, sandy beach, pavilion, and on-site dining fill the rest. Pets are welcome. The resort opened in summer 2023 as one of the most ambitious marina-integrated campground developments in the Tennessee Valley, and it shows in the facilities — everything is new. Watts Bar is a 39,000-acre TVA reservoir in Roane County between Knoxville and Chattanooga. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends, with spring and fall fishing strong and considerably easier availability.
